The QFile::exists() and QFileInfo solution together to is the best way 
because it tests exactly what you want to know, not approximate it by 
another technique.  Such as trying to open the file.  Though rare, the file 
could exist but fail to be opened due to e.g. sharing violation or 
permission failure.
